The 59th New York Film Festival took place from September 24 to October 10, 2021.[1] Unlike the 2020 New York Film Festival, which was staged online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 festival returned to physical screenings at the Lincoln Center.

Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth was announced as the opening film[2] with Pedro Almodóvar's Parallel Mothers announced as the closing film.[3] Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog was the festival's centerpiece screening.[4][5][6]
